VN Ren'Py Jessica O'Neil's Hard News [v0.65] [stoperArt]

[Mintt]

These devs always do it. Says it's coming soon, then it's coming next week, then in few days, then a bit of delay to next week and another small delay to even not knowing when they can release. In the end it's like 30 days of delays.
Now tell me how they thought they are releasing in few days when in the end they delay for a month.

It's understandable, most of the time when devs get around to laying down a scene alot of things can change from what they initially imagined it as, so the scene can become short cause of technological limitation or can become large cause thats what makes the scene flow better and improve it.

Lower your expection will always make you feel better
Just expect the next update will be in 2021








Or 2022

Could be next week or the end of this month or could be next month...all I can say is that perfection takes time. StoperArt aims for perfection and perfection takes a lot of time, worth the wait, even though can get frustrating at times but one really can't complain if the Patrons won't.

the patreons do it their own way, a week he had 466 patreons

Yeah, it would happen more, a patron would sure expect a more professional setting where he/she sees a defined timeline being a regular supporter. But then there are developers who follow timelines and lag on the artistic skill, very few really balance it and garner most patrons. Also depends on how the developer sees things, I guess Stoper is fine with this arrangement and we all still love the art.

you are wrong, this system does not reward at all.

Patrons really dont mind and even if they do then they dont say much cause they know the situation since they have been loyal supporters for ages. I myself used to support monthly a year or so ago but it just wasnt worth it, so now i just subscribe to him whenever an update gets near.

 

[VulgarJoys]

The Stoper could have released the beta version without animation, it was very delayed with the update...

 

[umby]

I hope that this "slow-making" animation isn't some kind of transition only

the mysterious stoper is probably working on the 3 options available in the fundraising event. do you want the opinion of an idiot like me? in all this time he has simply worked on these 3 scenes, and exactly like the previous update he realized it was damn short, but I don't understand why he still insists on communicating that the update is almost ready. I really don't understand.

 

[Sinsofmyblood]

I hope we get more content with with Blake or Heather. Hopefully Parker fans get something out of it as well.

having content with Parker also seems very difficult to me, more likely in the next update, if there will be a surprise maybe something with some members of the editorial staff but nothing overwhelming.

 

[Bolero]

I don't understand this point of view, I never picture myself as the MC in any VN I play FP or MP it's just a story so I couldn't care less who's dick is getting wet.

Same here. This game is not the best example because the MC is not a man.
Yeah, i play that dude, the main character, but do i really care about him? Not at all. I see him just as any other dude in the game, nothing more than that.
I play to see the woman i find attractive, and it is the same to me if i see a scene with her with the MC or with her husband, a neighbor or whatever. I mean she is not cheating me personally if she is fucking other men.
But i guess some people get really hard into the character they are playing.

nah, this is an all-around fundraising event update, without animation it would have been miserable. waiting times are around 4 months so it is on average;

Of course I understand everything, but I'm afraid the next news from the Stoper again will not please us very much.

 

[stoper]

Now tell me how they thought they are releasing in few days when in the end they delay for a month.

I can't speak for other people, but I personally don't plan the scenes in full detail before I start working on them. I have a rough idea of what is going to happen, but I go with the flow as I make the images.

Spoiler: Take one of the scenes from the last update for example:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

So I can go into a scene thinking it would take a week to make, and then end up working on it for a month.

This is such a great answer, thank you for your honesty. But this is one of my biggest complaints about any VN. From a project management standpoint, deadlines are super important and need to be respected. I get it that this is your art, and I appreciate your commitment, but if you’re being literal with the bit about a week turning into a month, that’s a huge problem. A deadline does not need to be absolute, but it’s there for a reason. Sometimes that reason is to protect yourself from saying “hmmm, maybe I can reconfigure this scene to fit her under the table.”
